Motion and Distribution of Floating Grain in Direct-Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys: Experiments and Numerical Modeling

Sedimentation of free-floating grains is the main origin of the negative centerline segregation in direct-chill casting of aluminum alloys. This study examines the motion and distribution of the floating grains during casting using experimental measurements and numerical modeling. The typical floati...
